In 2012, the sales amount of Company X and Company Y increased by 20% and 25% respectively, while the sales amount of Company Z remained unchanged. Given that the original sales amounts in 2012 were:

- Company X: Rs. 24,000
- Company Y: Rs. 16,000
- Company Z: Rs. 12,000

If the total target sales amount for all three companies combined in 2012 was Rs. 60,000, what is the difference between the total actual sales amount after the increase and the total target sales amount?

- Company X: Rs. 24,000
- Company Y: Rs. 16,000

If the total target sales amount for all three companies combined in 2012 was Rs. 60,000, what is the difference between the total actual sales amount after the increase and the total target sales amount?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Calculate the increased sales amount for Company X:
   - Original sales = Rs. 24,000
   - Increase = 20% of 24,000 = $ 24,000 \times \frac{20}{100} = 4,800 $
   - New sales amount = 24,000 + 4,800 = Rs. 28,800

2. Calculate the increased sales amount for Company Y:
   - Original sales = Rs. 16,000
   - Increase = 25% of 16,000 = $ 16,000 \times \frac{25}{100} = 4,000 $
   - New sales amount = 16,000 + 4,000 = Rs. 20,000

3. Sales amount for Company Z remains unchanged at Rs. 12,000.

4. Total actual sales amount after increase:
   $$
   28,800 + 20,000 + 12,000 = Rs. 60,800
   $$

5. Given total target sales amount = Rs. 60,000

6. Difference between actual sales and target sales:
   $$
   60,800 - 60,000 = Rs. 800
   $$

**Answer:** Rs. 800
